Necro charm shouldn't be based on char but only on level and magic resistance.

We didn't change anything concerning Necro charm. We discussed and it was not decided on exactly how we want to implement. Changes for this will be coming. They just did't make it in this patch.

I also being ENC, must say developers have changed the game such it is VERY difficult for new players (bad gear,) to solo or group

1. I always Tash, and still i get Tons of resists... Even on Blu's.
2. My Yellow ENC pet gets his but kicked on ONE Blu.
3. WAY WAY too much hate from nukes. I first waited till 70 % before casting one nuke . Then i waited till 50 % cast my first nuke and still getting Aggro. What gives?

And i pray to God that things are not being changed so we can be like EQ live

Hate is based on how much damage each player has done to the mob. This happens a lot on raids especially. If 5 people did 10% of the mobs HP in damage and you nuke it for 14% its going to come after you.


People saying there charm is breaking right away please specify which mobs you are trying to charm. I think all that was changed is they switched the importance of CHA vs MR and now a lot of high MR hard to charm mobs are breaking it. I know in PoF the Gorgons are supposed to be not worth charming. As it was pre-patch they did in fact resist charm a lot but once it landed it lasted the same as any mob despite their high MR. It is supposed to have a similar but reduced chance for them to break it each tick based on MR.

This is an oversimplification and simply not true. There are many other factors involved in hate then damage. How do you think the lowest DPS classes like Paly and SK manage to keep agro? It has absolutely nothing to do with their damage output. Hell, even warriors have always relied on stun and debuff procs for max agro generation.

Also, I can't think of many raid mobs where a single player can do 14% damage to the mob with one nuke (until later expansions with higher lvl caps, AA's focus effects and such). If you meant over the duration of the fight then it's also moot because hate levels are constantly changing with each player character during the duration of the fight.

So I'm not sure where you got this idea from.

Troll guards in Grobb. Prepatch they were charm-able to a 42 with 231 CHA. Now they are not, not longer than about 12 seconds anyway. Also Tash does not increase the duration of this by any time whatsoever.

Negative. Hate is based on potential damage.
